Glue alone might break, but just use a screw instead of the rivet. You can also use a little CA glue to prevent the screw from coming loose later.

My subwoofer input connector is broken it can be fixed with glue but I want to know can I replace it. Below i have attached a pic if input jack 

Can you zoom out a little bit for context?

So I'm not 100% sure what your situation is from your photos but basic analog audio wiring is relatively simple

If it really is something being broken you just solder it back and you're fine. 

If the woofer or power supply is damaged, that's another issue.

No what i am saying is  audio connector shown in pic is broken this pic I used as a reference to highlight my area of issue

What would you mean by broken? As in the thing that you're plugging into is broken? If so, that's why I linked to a jack off amazon.

Yes. About that pic to show reference as the one on my speaker is broken off like nothing left so if I would have shown that empty speakers it would be hard to express my problem to i shared pic from Amazon of that jack. So can it be replaced?

It's often easier to draw than to write out what's going on. 

If I correctly understand your issue (I don't know if I do) - you have an active (gets power from somewhere else) subwoofer and the receptacle to it, that connects it to an analog source, is busted. 

If it's anything like headphones, you'd just remove the broken part and solder on a replacement of some sort. The parts are usually pretty inexpensive.

Ok i have a subwoofer and bottom it has two connectors female right labelled as + and - and we connect our wires with spade crimp connector or we directly solder the  wires to it that jack or whatever we call it is broken so I want to know if that can be replaced.

If you can find an equivalent part and can solder it, you're fine. Usually those connectors are only added on to make things more consistent and less "janky"

The only thing that matters here is that you're able to connect all the metal parts together. It's simply a case of there needs to be an electrical loop. You can even directly solder on a wire. 

Again, this is all assuming that the only thing that needs to happen is a loop being complete. This breaks down with more "complex" active circuitry.

OK, you have 2 ways to repair this. Either you glue it back together or you replace it. When you try to glue it, i would advice you use a good 2 components glue and something non-conductive as a support structure that you glue it to, or you drill out this rivet and solder a new connector to the speaker that you can salvage from any other speaker. But be careful with the wires that go to the voice coil, due to their structure those tend to suck in solder when when you solder them.

How do I solder it like taking out they broken pice is easy but replace with new is hard,i think again I need to rivet with some tools as solder may not stick to the speaker something like punching machine is required i think. Can I glue it with glue gun

Your initial post could have just been this image with the word "Help!" and it would have been more useful than anything else you wrote in this thread..

Just glue it. Changing it out for a new one would be a lot more tricky. Use a CA glue, not hot glue, and try not to glue over the soldered points(it won't matter for operation, but if you ever have to work on it again it will be easier if it's not all covered in glue). Maybe also add some structural material like a couple toothpicks or something.

If it's just a broken piece of plastic... you can reinforce the plastic with just about anything that's poorly conductive. Think wood or other plastic.
